How do I change the size and/or location of windows/programs so that when I
open them they are where I want and the size I want? (Do I have to hit
"maximize" or manually shrink/move everytime?)

Can I have a default for all such windows?

Can I have different defaults for various windows (maximize outlookk upon
open, top half of monitor for word, etc.)

Can I have different windows simply open to the size a location they were
last in when closed (earlier today, yesterday, last year)?

Windows doesn't have that function, but there are a couple of
third party tools that can do this.

If you find a good one, please let us all know. I use a special
one, but it doesn't exactly do what I want, so I'm also looking
for a good tool.

Ideally it should reposition and resize the first window of
specified kinds that opens.

I'd suggest http://autoitscript.com

You need to identify the window's 'handle' (either its PID or else some
identifying text in the title or body) then send a maximize command to it.
Not difficult but the precise commands depend on the window itself. There is
an 'AU3Spy' tool which can help you identify the correct commands.
